Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!
Check out the Ships sub-forum. There's some great builds going on there and there are a lot of members with a wealth of knowledge on the subject. They are ready, willing and able to help out with questions/problems that you might have with your build.
Enjoy the hobby and don't forget to post pics of your builds.
